WORLDY DUDE <\/p>\n

04-13-2014<\/p>\n

You’re so smart, you’re so shrewd,
\nAfter all, you’re a worldly dude.
\nYou learned the ropes of the game,
\nYou made your money & some fame.<\/p>\n

You dress fine and walk so proud,
\nRather obnoxious and overly loud.
\nWomen love you and men cast darts,
\nYou crush people and break hearts.<\/p>\n

You don’t even care who you hurt,
\nYou rub people’s faces in the dirt.
\nWake up dude, you’re a shallow man,
\nTurn to Christ while you still can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
